Early
Life and Education
Catherine
Kusasira was born to Wilberforce and Deborah Luwandagga and
she has three siblings. Kusasira attended Dynamic SS and then later joined St.
Balikuddembe SS Mitala Maria.
Kusasira’s
music career
Catherine
Kusasira was inspired into music by Sam and Sophie Gombya and Herbert Kyewalyanga
who were school music trainers.
At
the time, Kusasira was asked to mime a song called ”Mumpe Ebyange” and Mariam Ndagire’s Bamugamba which Kusasira says she did
marvellously and thus she began her career.
Kusasira began singing with Josam’s Band of Sam Gombya and Joseph Mulinde
in 1999 while still in S.3 at Dynamic SS.
Kusasira says she does not regret joining the entertainment
industry because she has gained fame, friends and family. The mother of two
said none of her three siblings has tried singing although their parents
Wilberforce and Deborah Luwandagga were regular in Nansana Church choir.
However, in 2014 Eagle Production faced a storm which caused its
split. The agreement was reached after the band members had a meeting that took
place on Tuesday, March 10, 2014, at Calendar House in Makindye a Kampala
suburb.
When Eagles Production split, Kusasira attacked Geoffrey Lutaaya calling
him a man of double standards. However, two years later after the split,
Kusasira apologized to her former boss, Geoffrey Lutaaya.
Kusasira made the
apology when Lutaaya wowed his fans with his new Album ‘Muli Luno’ at Club
Obbligato along Bombo Road.
“Let me take this opportunity and apologize to my boss Geoffrey
Lutaaya, Sincerely I wouldn’t be what I am today if it wasn’t him,” Kusasira
said while kneeling before Lutaaya on stage.

Kusasira launched her
controversial album ‘Enkola ya Taxi’ at Club Obbligato at the
time they had separated with her longtime boyfriend Seruga.
“I might have been a victim, but the song is not about Seruga
but dedicated to those women who are used by men to top-up love,” Kusasira said
during the album launch. I did it for those women who gave up on love due to
the mistreatment by their men,” she said.
